  • Patent number: 10980096
    Abstract: During operation, a computer provides, based at least in part on an initial lighting preference of an individual, instructions specifying initial lighting states of one or more lights in a lighting configuration in an environment, where an initial lighting state of a given light includes an intensity and a color of the given light. Then, the computer receives sensor data specifying a non-verbal physical response of the individual to initial lighting states. Moreover, the computer determines, based at least in part on the non-verbal physical response, a type of reaction of the individual to the initial lighting state. Next, the computer selectively modifies, based at least in part on a lighting behavior history of the individual and the determined type of reaction, the initial lighting preference of the individual to obtain an updated lighting preference.
